According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its state of uniform motion along a straight line when there is no net force acting on it. That means if the roller coaster is under no external forces, it would move in a straight line tangential to the track. However, there should be forces acting on it because its direction of motion changes. Assuming that the mass of the roller coaster is
, it is moving at a velocity
, and the track is circular with a radius
, the centripetal force required would be

When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
A roller coaster increases kinetic energy when it is going downhill, as gravity is pulling it down and accelerating it. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the roller coaster gains speed.
